Hello all,

Lucian Hudin has measured one (568) CFHT image from 2011 October
22 and kindly copied the astrometry to me, and it _lowers_ the nominal
perihelion distance a bit and excludes high-Q orbits. Gareth has
pointed out that the DOU MPEC 2014-F58 gives a new orbit with two
more observations (but those observations are unpublished as yet).

You should probably treat the MPES orbit as 'definitive', since
it includes both 2011 observations, but Lucian's single observation
gets us the following solution. This solution pretty much overlaps
the MPC one, but shows the uncertainties, all of which drop a
_lot_ with the new data point.
